Mortals are invading the up- per air in their heavier than air ma- chines and doing so in an intrepid fashion that was a dream to only the most imaginative of novelists, Jules Verne, a few years ago. Fly- ing is a comparatively safe sport to what it was in its infancy. We may take it that it passed its Infancy several years ago, that it was nursed into a healthy growth during the war when men were accustomed to take the greater risks for the greater reward. But it has not yet passed the stage of experiment, it is not yet an art that is to be accepted by the entire populace as a com- monplace occurrence, it has not yet come to the polnt where it is fur- nishing active competition to rail- roads and steamship lines, it is not yet such a common carrier that the Connecticut Public Utilities Commis- sion may have to legislate the ma- chines off of the air highways to save the trolley companies. It is inevitable that accidents should happen in the spectacular game as they are happening even today in the automobile world. Add- ed to the human equation the frailty of the ’plane and the unreliability of the motor prove factors that may dash one man or several to death. In a great many instances the par- ticular weakness that caused the ac- cident may not be traced, the flyer’s death has put an end to all but con- jecture. In others the pilot himself has been unable to say just what condition or group of conditions caused his fall. It seems that the attention of the public has been directed lately to losses in the service arms of aviation, Army and navy men have figured largely in the accidents. Air bombs have been the cause of some deaths. not only the machines. Yesterday a particularly horrible air crash took place when a large army plane failed in the “take-off” after landing to dodge a storm and crashed int> a field of parked automobiles many of which contained spectators. Fx- plosions in the gasoline tanks of the plane and of nearby machines condemned five people to death and probably nearly immediate incinera- tion, while twenty-filve sustained injur- fes that may, in some cases, prove fatal. Crushed under the automo- biles the spectators were sprinkled with burning gasoline. Peculiarly enough the pilot and his assistant es- caped by jumping. There is no particular lesson to be learned from yesterday's aceident unless it be that “Safety First" is a good adage for spectators, a point that is ignored too often in connec- tion with affairs of this kind. Planes should be given plenty of room, perticularly when they are taking oif and making a landing as these are the danger points to the crowd. Once a plane is well up and the pilot has had a good chance to es- tablish his stability the spectators at least, have no occasion to worry. Before the necessary height has been reached,. however, there are many chances for a crash and, upon alighting, a plane on the ground is a cumbersome thing added to handle. The bigger it is the greater its mo- mentum and the more danger to surrounding objects. It may have been an “airhole” that threw the big machine off its balance. It may have been the fail- ure of one of the “warping-planes” to work that caused the upset. It may have been a temporary fault of the operator. We may probably de- termine, eventually, what caused the accident. But one thing that is cer- tain is that spectators were too near the flying fleld for absolute safety. UNSETTLED TRELAND. Events in the Emerald Isle during the past few days have followed so rupidly that even the most enthusias- tic follower of the fortunes of the Irish people has found it difficult to keep track of and analyze the rapidly changing situation.

We may hope for an acceptable solution, none could be more interested from non-partisan standpoint than United States. ‘With an agreement between the fac- tions as represented by their leaders we still have the expectation of see- ing factional grudge fights born to an excessive degree. Therd are bands 'of individuals in Ireland to whom the execution of a grudge is greater than even the national unity, or the Brit- ish allegiance. Will these bands con tinue in a species of guerilla warfare and, if they do, will a united North and South Ireland be able to put ‘hem down? It is worrisome indeed to try and settle upon an answer to these questions. The Belfast rioting would indicate that grudge fights will still be carried on. The truce was not yet in effect but it should have been lived up to nevertheless, a fact which cannot be contradicted.

The foreign policy of the present administration under President Hard- ing took definite form during the last few days, although predictions as to what was forthcoming have been heard even as far away as election time and came to a head yesterday when it was announced that feelers had been sent out to the principal powers in regard to a conference which would look toward reduction of armaments. Even greater develop- ments are expected today, too late for this page, however, when Lloyd George is expected to give an indica- tion of the Eritish attitude towards the note of the United States. While hinging upon the reduction of armaments it is thought that tha conference will not stop there but will result in a gencral agreement which will amount to a virtual Treaty of Ver- sailles. Many bothersome subjects will be discussed before any of tha nations involved consent to take any steps towards weakening their war equipment, and these subjects will probably be settled before the agree- ment is entered we may look forward to a treaty from this meeting, document which will taka count all of our troubles, and our causes for trouble and make tually agreeable termination sam. troubles. into. Consequently powertful a signed into ac- a mu- to the There can be no dis- armancent with possible war in the offing, there must be treaties before disarmament i3 due. There can be no doubt but that the mad race to outdo each other's power is intensely disliked by every nation if for no other reason than the ex- pense involved. The United States has no reason to act upon the sug- gestion of some of the pacifists and reduce itself to a state of helplessne hoping that other nations will follow sait. Neither has Great Britain Japan. From a selfish standpoint, and tha’ is the way national affairs must be considered, we have more to lese than the others, ergo; we should have the most powerful army. S or fleet and But—if others will reduce with us. and we may have assurances that they will, the ideal solution has been reached. There stands in the way of this re- duction several points that must be agreed upen before the causes of war and of armaments are removed. To saiisfy the United States the Monroe doctrine must be recognized. The question of Yap, with its cable land- ings, mus. be decided. America’s pol- ST “JEST RUMINATIN".” (Robert Russell.)

Shantung rears its head from ghosts of the past and, in all probability the Japanese exclu- sion in California will be thor- oughly aired. The United States is taking the lead the question of disarmament, it calling for a conference of the powerful nations of the world to set- tle world troubles, not only to consid- er reduction of navies and armies. It act in is has some of the knottiest problems to solve. It must be prepared to insist upon more than any of the other powers. It refrained from the League of Natjons. It has no common point of agreement with the others axcept the mutual wish for less expense® It has several possible points of dis- agreement, notably the Yap settlement and it has, we presume, an altruistic wish for world peace insurance. Unless we have a thoroughly trained corps of diplomats at the con- ference there is none too clear sailing ahead. We must watch that our con- cessions do not lose to us too much. We cannot cram our policy down the throats of the other nations, they al- ready have an agreement such as it is. We are cntering the plea to again become a part of tmne world courts. Ar¢ we have to watch ourselves raighty close not to lose out through this plea. THE COUNCIL AND THE JITNEYS. The Common Council will have a chance tomorrow evening to prove its true worth to the electorate of New Britain as Mayor Curtis has called a meeting of that body to consider ways and means of obtain- ing a continuance of the jitneys in New Britain despite the refusal of the Public Utilities allow several lines, commission to which are con- sidered the ones most necessary, to continue. Whether the meeting is | to tale any action or not is to be decided and fust what ac- tion it can take is also to be scen.

A factor was the apathy of the public to the ney situation until to the fact that d-prived of the factor was probably the benign feel- ing of the commission towards the trolley companies, fostered by their r.cent well advertised difficulties. But now that the jitneys must go friends have cropped up from every corner—the public wants the service that the jitney affords. A body of city fathers can scarce- ly afford to ignore the feeling of the public, as has the commission. It do something, what, it must decide. There will probably be a unanimity of feeling amongst the councilmen tomorrow night, there is basis for that. But, there must appear some brilliant individual who will tell the council how it may act mission but was it had awakened it was going to be service. Another must a LIGHTS AND SHADOWS y John J.

FACTS AND FANCIES | BY ROBERT QUILLEN J Prosperity will return in the sweet buy and buy, Eveny a tight-wad is seldom that way when he gets tight. Prayer is most effective when it is mixed with equal parts of sweat. It is hard for a rich man to get into Heaven; equally hard, also, for a poor man. A few years ago cussiug the govern- ment was treason; now it is merely a habit. The divorce evil won't bring the nation to “free love’—not while lawyers charge as they do. The cave man may be extinct, but on street cars one can still find evi- dence of cave manners. Heaven won't be very attractive if folks brag about their goodness the way they do here. A lot of people annoy God with their spiritual burdens when all they need is a little something for their livers. If the children of today don't grade up to the children of yesteryear, it is because they selected a lower grade of parents. “1921 will reward fighters” a business slogan. It doesn't refer to maimgd doughboyes who are lying in hospitals. It is wasn’t for the men who don’t care what the newspapers say about them, the press clipping bureaus would starve to death. Among other suggestive things in the movie show is the man in front of you who won’t keep his head still. He suggests homicide. Dr. Rogers says the modern girl's waist is mannish. Rats. The only masculine thing about the modern girl’'s waist is an arm. “‘Congress Asked to End Discrimina- tion Against Kids,”” headline. Any body of men which discriminates must be ‘‘kidding.’ so Headline asserts that ‘‘Aldermen Pro- test Gas Service Charge.”” ‘‘Hot Air’* is not mentioned.

There was a slight damage. “Woman God Changed”’ The worst feature about the prohi- bition law is that people have learned how easy it is to break w Federal law and get away with it. They are preparing a Klondike movie to be called “Pay Dirt.” This will have nothing in common with the sex-stuff movies that make dirt pay. In cases of heat prostration, the at- tending physician doesn’t smell his breath to learn whether he has b:an patronizing a soda fountain. It must be embarrassing to the much-divorced ladies to wake up in the morning .and not be able to re- member who the husband is. You have no conception of the pos- sibilities of the American language until you hear a successful business may express his opinion of a Govern- ment expert. After a man tries and tries and tries to get rich, only to meet with failure, he finds consolation in the fact that the rich will all go to hell, anyway. ]| Off to France Myron T.
